Summary

This paper investigates the influence of in-situ lunar temperature on the pore structure and solid phases of alkali-activated lunar regolith simulant (AALRS). The study reports compressive strength, fractal dimensions, and pore characteristics using mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and fractal theory. Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to characterize solid phases. The results show changes in pore structure and compressive strength with temperature. The study investigates the influence of in-situ lunar temperatures on the performance of alkali-activated lunar regolith simulant (AALRS) paste. It explores the effects of silicate modulus and curing schemes on pore structure, fractal characteristics, reaction products, and compressive strength. The research aims to improve the performance of AALRS paste for lunar construction applications.
